Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin's GoFundMe Toy Drive Surpasses $4 Million In Donations After NFL Player Suffers Cardiac Arrest Mid-Game

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin's toy drive fundraiser has received numerous donations following his traumatic injury on the field, RadarOnline.com has learned, surging past $4 million as of Tuesday morning.

Several fans, friends, and teammates have sent their well wishes to the NFL player and his loved ones after Hamlin, 24, suffered a cardiac arrest during the Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals game on Monday.

Dr. Brian Sutterer, MD, who often explains NFL-related injuries but did not personally treat or evaluate Hamlin, reacted to a video showing the moments leading up to his collapse, explaining "this is almost certainly something called commotio cordis."

"Essentially what can happen if you have a blunt trauma to the chest that occurs at exactly the right time in the cardiac electrical cycle, your heart can be sent into cardiac arrest," Sutterer explained.

The game was ultimately postponed by the NFL and did not resume last night.

"His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition," the Bills shared in a statement earlier this morning.

"This campaign gives you the opportunity to contribute to our first initiative and positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic," Hamlin continued, adding "100 percent of the funds raised will go toward the purchase of toys for kids in need."

Hamlin's most recent Instagram post was a collaboration thanking all those who contributed to the fundraiser.

"This fundraiser was initially established to support a toy drive for Damar's community, sponsored by the Chasing M's Foundation," an updated statement read on the GoFundMe. "However, it has received renewed support in light of Damar's current battle and we can't thank all of you enough. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us."

"If you would like to show your support and contribute to Damar's community initiatives and his current fight, this is the place to do so. This is the only current fund that is being used by the Hamlin Family. Again, thank you for your thoughts, prayers and generous support during this time."
